'This is your fault': GOP senators clash over government shutdown
Washington: Republican senators clashed and confronted Vice-President Pence at a private luncheon on Thursday, as anger hit a boiling point over the longest government shutdown in history.
"This is your fault," Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican, told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at one point, according to two Republicans who attended the lunch and witnessed the exchange.
"Are you suggesting I'm enjoying this?" McConnell snapped back.
Johnson spokesman Ben Voelkel confirmed the confrontation. He said Johnson was expressing frustration with the day's proceedings - votes on duelling plans to reopen the government, both of which failed to advance.
COMMENT:-
Are the wheels coming off the wagon? After all Mr. Trump has described the outcome of the votes as a "big victory" for the GOP. So maybe they aren't.
Nope, just shows that republicans are as weak as they have always been. No surprise, but Trump, thankfully, isn't.

So mr. conservative you are now reduced to criticizing your own party to protect trump the invincible? Sad! What happened to reagan's eleventh commandment, R's don't criticize R's in public.

So you voted for the Democrats in 2018?
the bill would have passed had schumer and democrats upheld their oath of office to protect the border and pay people.
instead schumer filibustered it.
instead of doing her job pelsoi sent the house on a 3 day weekend while people still are not getting paid.
so much for the working guy mantra of the left.
it is clear they are not interested in anything but get trump. they give a crap about the country national security or getting people back to work.

When Trump gets one indictment thrown at Don Jr or Jared Kushner he's going to "lay down like a dog" and "cry like a baby". He likes using those terms when describing others, but it's him that's going the be the baby dog.
Where do you get the big idea that Pelosi' and Schumer's job is to pass Republican legislation?
For 2 years, Congress funded border security and wall maintenance with the caveat written into funding that NOT ONE DOLLAR BE SPENT ON DONALD TRUMP'S NEW WALL.
If it's Schumer's fault (and it isn't), then why are Republicans in a cat fight to determine which of them is most to blame? I sure didn't see any of them blaming Schumer.

did schumer not just filibuster several bills that would open up government and pay people?
did he not do the same thing in december?
the answer is yes so there you have it.
it is his fault.
facts don't change simply because you don't like them.
Trum is the biggest WUSS of the bunch. It's laughably ludicrous that you don't see what a baby he is. Trump is TERRIFIED by the "Rusher thing" He doesn't give **** one about the wall, only obstructing Mueller and the FBI. Trump isn't a "man" by any regard. A failer at being a "man " perhaps at best. :2rofll:
Do you feel better? Was that enough TDS for today, or are you not even close to your daily quota yet?
Tim-
There's exactly zero chance that that will happen. All of this posturing by the democrats is for entertaining their base. Pelosi, and Schumer have zero interest in the reciprocal consequences Trump might use as retribution. He owns the DOJ, and militarize just as much, if not more than Obama ever did, and they KNOW it. They all, and I mean of them have skeletons, whether it's corruption, or insider trading, or whatever corrupt category your heart desires.. They all, can be investigated at the drop of a hat! They KNOW it, and this is all just eye candy for you plebes to gobble up

Six of the eight prototypes for the president's proposed border wall will need substantial re-design, according to a new government report. During tests, teams were able to break through some of the walls --- and scale others.

Where do you get the big idea that they should stop and shut down government because they want to act like children over the president?
because schumer kept filibustering bills hello do you not pay attention to facts or do you just not care?
trumps the president he gets to set the agenda it is congresses job to work towards that agenda.
you guys were sure shouting at the roof tops when obama couldn't get his way calling the GOP obstructionist.
the lefts hypocrisy at it again.
Either you're that naive or you're simply in denial. I'm getting the sense that you Trumpers are suddenly turning into 'snowflakes'. It may turn into a blizzard yet.
